RE: DLSW pass-through

Alec,

 

      Yes, pass-thru is required when peering direct over HDLC or SDLC. See
the following output:

 

R1(config)#dlsw remote-peer 0 interface serial 0/0

%For direct encapsulation, must specify pass-thru

 

      The keyword is optional for Frame Relay because it can support
reliable transport by incorporating an additional LLC2 header after the
Frame Relay header.

 

R1(config)#dlsw remote-peer 0 frame-relay interface serial 0/0 102

 

      The above statement illustrates dlsw over frame relay *with* reliable
transport (local ack), and implies the following interface level
configuration:

 

R1(config)#int s0/0

R1(config-if)#frame-relay map llc2 102 broadcast

 

R1(config)#dlsw remote-peer 0 frame-relay interface serial 0/0 102 pass-thru

 

      The above statement illustrates dlsw over frame relay *without*
reliable transport (no local ack), and implies the following interface level
configuration:

 

R1(config)#int s0/0

R1(config-if)#frame-relay map dlsw 102 broadcast

Brian,

Thanks. Does that mean when configuring direct encapsulation over HDLC, the
pass-through option must be specified ? For FR, this parameter is optional.
For TCP, it has already been enabled and you can not change it by default!

Alec,

        Frame Relay, HDLC, and SDLC do not provide reliable transport. In
the case that a packet is lost when sent across these encapsulations it is
the responsibility of the host to retransmit. For this reason the router
cannot guarantee to the host that the packet has gotten through (local
acknowledgement).

        Local ack is only supported with TCP (reliable by nature) and Frame
Relay with an additional LLC2 header, which provides error checking and
retransmission.
